Babar has been going through a poor form in all formats for the last few months. He scored only 30 and 5 runs in both the innings against England on a batting-friendly pitch in the first Test, after which he is in danger of being dropped from the team. Hours after Pakistan’s defeat in the Multan Test, the Pakistan Cricket Board formed a new selection committee, which has reportedly decided to drop Babar from the second Test squad. Babar Azam has not been able to score even a half-century in Test cricket for a long time. Babar Azam left the captaincy of all three formats after the World Cup 2023.

After this meeting, such reports have also come out that Shan Masood may be forced to leave the Test captaincy after this series or the Pakistan Cricket Board may remove him from the captaincy. Talking about Babar Azam, he has not been able to score even a half-century in Test cricket in 17 innings. The last time he played an innings of 50 or more runs in Test cricket was in December 2022. His average in Test cricket is also continuously falling. At one time his test average was more than 50, but now it has come down to 43.92. Even in the rankings, he is out of the top 10. At the same time, under the captaincy of Shan Masood, Pakistan team has not been able to win even a test match yet.

Rameez Raja raised questions on Multan Test pitch, said “Why should we play on home ground and play…”
Speaking on TV coverage of the match, Rameez Raja expressed his sympathy for Pakistan’s bowling attack. Ramiz Raja. (Photo by ARIF ALI/AFP via Getty Images) The first Test match between Pakistan and England proved to be a great run-scoring affair, where runs were seen pouring from every direction. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first and scored a huge score of 556 runs on the flat pitch of Multan. But England took a step forward and made the Pakistani bowlers work hard on the basis of brilliant innings by Joe Root and Harry Brook. Root scored 262 runs, while Brook played a mammoth inning of 317 runs. England declared their innings at 823 runs on the fourth day, taking the total to more than 1500 runs in the first 10 sessions of the match. Amidst this thrilling game, former Pakistani cricketer Rameez Raja looked extremely unhappy with the quality of the pitch. He said that the bowlers did not get any help on this pitch and raised questions on the preparation of the pitch. Rameez Raja again angry about the pitch Speaking on TV coverage of the match, Rameez Raja expressed his sympathy for Pakistan’s bowling attack- “I am sure the bowlers will question the quality of this pitch because they bowled with full force, but nothing happened. You start questioning why such pitches were prepared and why we are playing on such pitches at home.” We had demanded a good cricket pitch: Shan Masood It is worth noting that, when Pakistan had earlier lost the series against Bangladesh 2–0, the criticism was at its peak. There was pressure on the team to perform well against England. During the toss in Multan, Pakistan captain Shan Masood admitted that he had asked for a flat pitch against England. Masood said during the toss, “We had asked for a good cricket wicket. There are good batsmen in both the teams. We were in a position to win but could not win the match from there, which has created some resentment among the team and the cricket fraternity. We want to get back to winning ways and hopefully these players can do that.”
‘There is still a lot left to do’ Joe Root after becoming the most successful batsman in Test cricket for England

But the player’s hunger for runs was not showing any signs of diminishing. After this marathon innings, he has become the 5th player to score the most runs in Test cricket. Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting are present ahead of Root. Joe Root gave a big statement After playing this brilliant innings against Pakistan in Multan, Joe Root was quoted by The Standard as saying – I am obviously proud, but I still feel that there is a lot left to do and a lot of runs to be scored. I always think that your best (century) is your next century. You have to be hungry and willing to find ways to get better besides just contributing. Root further said- I am sure that when I complete it, I will revisit it at some point and feel very proud of it. But we still have a chance to win this match which is exciting. We will see how it feels at the end of the Test match.
